The area of ​​operation essentially covers the whole city and its hydrographic basin, contemplating the following actions: - Sanitary sewage - coverage and connections to the network; - Drainage capture in dry weather; - Recovery of water bodies within the scope of the 100% Waterproof Program; - Investments in drainage and connections are specifically related to the system of the Coastal Strand. This system focuses on the oldest occupation zone in the city of Fortaleza, with a population density and among the lower income brackets of the municipality, located in the extreme west and east, where the neighborhoods of Barra do Ceará, Cais do Porto, Carlito Pamplona, ​​Cristo Redentor, Jacarecanga, Monte Castelo, Moura Brazil, Mucuripe, Pirambu, Praia do Futuro I and Vicente Pizon, among others. Although it has almost 100% coverage with a sewage system, consisting of collecting networks, trunk collectors, interceptors, lift stations, a preconditioning station, ground emissary and submarine emissary, the Maritime Slope still has 16,202 connections not connected to the system , representing 17.05% of total connections. Households not connected to the sewage system are often clandestinely connected to rainwater galleries or are served by cesspools, causing damage to the environment and to the sewage collection system.

In 2014, the Integrated Cycle Route Master Plan (PDCI) was launched. The same is a strategic plan that will provide the city with effective tools and infrastructure for the implementation of a cycle network, integrated with the public passenger transport system and urban equipment, and for encouraging the use of non-motorized means of transportation.
According to PDCI, the city has 74.7 km of cycle paths and 10.9 km of cycle tracks, totaling 85.6 km of cycling network. The total extension planned for the year 2030 will be 524.2 km, with 275.5km of cyclepaths; 122.3km of cycletracks; 122,1km of cyclorotes; And 4.4 km of shared sidewalk. The PDCI defines the strategies related to infrastructure and proposes the development of three lines of work:
• Structuring network: the development of a structuring network aims to contribute to cycling mobility on the scale of the city, providing greater comfort in long journeys (between neighborhoods). They are direct routes and without deviation and mainly bicycle lanes;
• Complementary network: it is the cycle network that structures the mobility in bicycle within the neighborhoods. It allows the internal displacements and the connections with the structuring network and the terminals of public transport. Mainly cyclepaths, cycleroutes and areas with traffic calming;
• Complementary infrastructure: the complementary infrastructure is mainly the implantation of the elements related to the parking (implementation of paracycles, bicycles racks) and improvement of bicycle intermodality - public transport.
Another action of the City Hall is the Leisure Cycle Course. The PAITT in partnership with AMC (Municipal Transit Authority), ETUFOR (Fortaleza Urban Transport Company) and Via Livre Consortium promote a route along the main avenues of the city on Sundays. It operates from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and aims to encourage the population to exercise, have a free leisure option and promote the use of the bicycle as a means of transportation. The routes vary every Sunday and, along the same, there is medical and police support. The project was extended in the year of 2015. Two more routes were added and the timetable extended from 7am to 4pm. As benefits of this action, can be cited:
• Reduction of air and noise pollution;
• Improvement of the health of the population with the practice of physical exercise;
• Increased levels of security, as the population will enjoy more of the urban space. Consequently streets, parks and squares will be more inhabited;
• Division of road space in a more democratic and fair way;
• Free leisure space;
• Education of the population, awareness of the diverse social, economic and environmental benefits of creating cycling infrastructure.
